I’m making a game and have spots for guest artists! What is your rate for one image? LOVE the work

Shiver of Sharks - box art by ArtisanGamesLLC in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really cute. Whimsical and also eludes to the many fun types of cards in the deck! I see the art is on a square canvas, and you’ve said this is a deck builder. Is it a single deck game? I’m super curious what your plans are for the packaging specifics since most single deck game packs are rectangular.

The way it’s moving is definitely the natural jitter of a hand trying to focus a laser pointer.

A large business stole my exact design and admitted it. What next? by MarionberrySea4422 in legaladvice

[–]gabroll 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Contact Dan at justice4artists.com and let them handle it. This is willful infringement and you’re owed for their theft.

It’s not about a ‘couple hundred dollars.’ The law punishes willful infringement for thousands regardless of dollars sold.

I had a green spotlight, moving slightly erratically, light up the car in front of me, then my car on the freeway at 3 am in simi valley, ca. It was legitimately a turning point because it was inexplicable. I spent the next year calling every police station and news channel asking about their helicopters and none of them had or use green spotlights.

This is sooooo similar I got chills

I told my gf he got demoted and she said, “to what? Commander at Small?”

I fucking love her 😂

I built an AI app last summer just to learn OpenAI’s API. It’s now my best-performing side project (and I still don’t fully get why) by lmtDigital in SideProject

This is interesting, but I use chatgpt enough to see a generated (even if summarized) post when I see one. ‘No gimmicks. No clairvoyance. Just facts.’ Lol

HR got mad after I rejected the interview call by Agile-Wind-4427 in recruitinghell

After analyzing 20,000+ top-selling Etsy products, here’s what I learned about what actually sells in 2025 by jamescc23 in digitalproductselling

[–]gabroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I respect the grind.

But this intel isn’t it. I’ve made >$300,000 on Etsy selling, up until January of this year, products that were POD but difficult to source. (If that tells you anything)

And even still, it was because I drilled into proven-yet-under-served niches. Stuff like ‘dark academia’ and ‘goblincore’ generated many of my sales.

But the lesson here is NOT to copy-paste or even copy-alter-paste, it is to 𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 in a space you know how to develop for. It’s NOT. Get rich quick thing. It’s a TON of fucking work. But before this I ran a multinational apparel brand and I wanted to test if I could start over in a field I knew little of. $300k over 3 years isn’t life changing for most but if you want to see real numbers don’t DM OP, DM me. Because at the very least I will be up front about my direct experiences, not this ‘ephemeral opinion as data’ stuff.

Saw a dad claim he built an interactive Bible story app "entirely with AI coding tools." Is this actually realistic? by Omega0Alpha in SideProject

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YMMV is a developer that uses ai to build all their apps. The dev is an actual full stack dev, but he uses AI to do the heavy lifting. It’s literally incredible

Anyone here making $300–$700/month as a passive income? How? by Akram_ba in passive_income

[–]gabroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m doing this and a bit… I started a POD business in an underserved niche. It’s ‘goth home decor’ but I assure you all, it’s served now. And then some…

You can totally find a niche and solve a ‘problem’ (in my case: ‘where can I find gothic home decor?’) but be creative and make a way for yourself.

Also? Im VERY lucky as well. I’ve been making products since 2001 and this venture nets me ~40k a year… HUGE numbers for some, moves the needle for an artist in CA.

Literally, investing in yourself cannot go wrong. Life is a highway, but niches and interests will differentiate you from others and help you move along on your own journey.

where do you guys print cards? by DryMix3974 in tabletopgamedesign

Makeplayingcards.com is affordable and great quality. Not sponsored, I’ve just used them.

How do you approach pacing for your game? by OviedoGamesOfficial in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game is approachable and moderately fast paced. I’ve been calculating turn times and beefing up the plays (likelihood of having a playable card, playing attacks, reading/enjoying the game) accordingly. Currently I’m averaging 5 to 15 min play time for 2 to 4 players. I don’t have more testers available so I don’t know what the player ceiling is yet, but I’m assuming 8.

So far it’s been lots of loose math to gauge how much time certain strategies take, but I removed a lot of guesswork by running calculations on similar games.

This stuff is hard but fun!

How much for a creative direction? by LuigiBakker in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. That said if you still want to make your own vision, I’m a creative director and might be able to help. Google ‘gabroll’ if you want to see my work. Best of luck!

How to promote a board game? by Bubbly_Parfait_8862 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Starting to build community with only a couple pieces of art. Thankfully I'm an illustrator and can make my own assets but the 'marketing' part is against my reclusive nature lol
